Simple answer: YES! THEY SHOULD! Who gives a good God Damn about what they do in the bed. They are in love, happy, tax paying citizens. They should be able to marry, share insurance policies, adopt, and anything else. If church and state are so separate then who gives a ******* where you can read the answer to life in some man made book? Maby we should stop being so damn worried about sex and start paying attention to illegal immigrants, taxes, the recession, and maby find an alternative to gasoline. Wow, a concept? Get off your religious high horse and do something that matters!

What two CONSENTING ADULTS do is really none of our damn business.

to the 3 Jesus freaks: Your bible is NOT a LEGAL document. When religion last determined the law we had things like inquisitions and crucifixions, witch hunts, and burning at the steak. That may be fine and dandy for you, but imagine if the law was based on some other religion, imagine how persecuted you would feel.

God (supposedly) created everyone equal ?

Only man decided to "split hairs" and create inequality - for the benefit of their ego.

I personally make a distinction between a civil partnership and marriage when the civil partnership conveys ALL of the same benefits and responsibilities as marriage .

I believe that gay people have a right to enjoy ALL of the same benefits and responsibilities in our society as married heterosexuals -- ALL rights and responsibilities.

I do however object to applying the term "marriage." Marriage is a historical and religious practice that was sanctioned by Government. In truth, Government got into the act relatively late as a way of guaranteeing rights to and conveyance of property. Remember, in early marriage, ownership of the wife transferred from the parents to the husband and women had no individual rights to own property, they were property.

Many religions and religious people have honest religious beliefs that homosexuality is wrong and that therefore, marriage of homosexuals is unacceptable. I do not share this belief.

I believe that we as a culture (US and Western culture) and our Government needs to pass laws that enable homosexuals to obtain totally equal treatment under the law -- all benefits, all responsibilities and apply this law to everyone and anyone who "marries." That is, from a civil and legal perspective, essentially abolish the term marriage, replace it with civil partnership, and make marriage a strictly religious institution. Then each and every religion can decide for itself whether or not to sanction the marriage of homosexuals. Of course this also implies that plural marriages should also be allowed in as much as the only objections to plural marriage are religious in nature as well and many cultures throughout the world allow plural marriage.

I can see no justification for our society to prevent homosexuals or multiple partners from enjoying the benefits and responsibilities of marriage. At the same time, I believe that our society must make it far more difficult to divorce and more or less impossible to divorce when children are involved. From a cultural and government perspective, the reasons or justifications for marriage are to ensure the orderly transfer of property, the care of children, and stability of the family.

Allowing homosexuals or plural families to participate would contribute to, not detract from, these governmental interests.

Perhaps the question should be phrased differently.....
Is it Biblical...no
Is it legal...in some places
right or wrong ...depends on your upbringing
for the record I think it is wrong to eat a peanut butter banana sandwich!

Who should we let define "write or wrong" between two people in love?

I should be allowed and recognized by governments on every level.

There is no reason any Gov't will ever create that can ever justify their right to decide who a person can love and partner with. None. I wish the entire LGB community to come together fully as a whole and then possibly the voice might be loud enough to warrant the super ****** up Gov't to listen.

Also quick side comment ot those jumping on the "bible" thing. If God made us..than why did he make some of us gay? LOL I thought the Bible says man was created in his image? ...mmmkay then

I'd like to ask the bible beaters (there's a difference between a christian and a bible beater) what effect a gay couple's marriage has on THEIR marriage personally. Last I checked two women or two men being together has had no effect on my relationship...

I think if someone wants to get married they should be able to. But I think they should have to pay for divorce too. Marriage shouldn't be taken lightly. It is a commitment before God and man to stand together through everything and anything. I tried it once. But he wasn't in it for the long haul.

Wrong! (in oh so many ways). There’s nothing wrong with people loving each other (regardless of gender) – even the bible says that. It’s the sex part that’s wrong!!!!

It's ridiculous that this is even still a relevant question in 2010. Who are we to judge who someone decides to spend their life with??!

Since when do we allow the government, or society in general to choose who we are allowed to marry?

Civil marriage: Yup
Religious marriage: if their church, belief, non-belief, boat captain allows it; yup.

What happens between two or more consenting adults is their business. Sure, the insurance industry doesn't know how to have their actuaries handle this, but they can learn.
